At Assateague

Hello! We are currently at Assateague in our ‘beach house’. It’s not exactly on the beach, but it’s close and quaint, so I guess it fits the title. 🙂

We arrived here Monday night, so we didn’t do much the first day. About a half an hour before we got here, there was a big storm and we pulled over into a parking lot to wait it out a bit. That’s about as exciting as the first day of vacation got. 😛

Yesterday (Tuesday) we went to the beach. The water was frigid! But there were waves, so it was pretty fun. 🙂 Then we made our traditional sand fortress. Usually when we go to the beach we make a sandcastle with lots of trenches and walls around it to see if it can stand against the tide. Usually it doesn’t.

And the finished castle – before the waves swept half of it away. Then my brothers decided to just trample over it. The Fortress of the Frigid Beach is no more.

We’ve seen several wild ponies! One galloped right past us as we were walking down the boardwalk at the beach. And another tried to race Dad as we were driving back. But the pony got distracted by a clump of grass and came to an abrupt halt, leaving us the winners of the race. It’s so funny to see horses trotting about the parking lots and walking down sidewalks and roads.

I took this picture right as he was stopping.

Today we went to Chincoteague which wasn’t actually all that great. After waiting a long time for lunch we drove around a bit and went home. The car rides were probably the most interesting, with my younger brother jabbering constantly while we played the alphabet game on the way there, and on the way back my little sister came up with some (very, very strange) ‘would you rather’ questions.

Anyway, here are some more beach-y pictures that I’ve taken. Some of them are kinda over edited, now that I see them again, but oh well. 🙂

Are you there? I don’t mean to be rude, but I want to chat with you sometime on tlk.io about rabbit stuff.. I’ve got some questions… I’m thinking I probably won’t be getting rabbits…but I still want to talk to you guys first! 😉

Hey there! I’m Megan, the barefoot gal. :) I live on a beautiful farm with my family, a cat, a dog, and various specimens of rabbits.
I love graphic design, photographing God’s creation, making people laugh, but most of all Jesus. I also enjoy doughnuts, baseball, and my Dad’s puns (usually).Photo credit Allison @ A Farm Girl’s Life
